Blinky Bill 37 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Snowflake. Wally Buddy. I see only 2 ladies, Cricket and Snowflake mentioned. These 2 Thai ladies were both real characters married to expats. Surely there have been some western women pass away here over the years. Link to post Share on other sites

Donald Gibson I also wasn't aware about Nick 'Smiling Monkey'....?? and I wasn't aware re Brian R..... any specifics there as to how where when etc..... He wasn't that old. Yea big phone Brian, Top North Charlie's RH Man... at least for a while. Boy this is turning out to be a shocking update type of thread Re the 3 unnamed Dominos girls.... unnamed because of not wanting names mentioned or not named because cannot remember ?

Gonzo the Face 2,639 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Just a strange thought...... maybe I will see my own name on there and wake up like Tex Ritter in the old song "Hillbilly Heaven" Link to post Share on other sites
Ulysses G. 26,192 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 (edited) Does anybody know what happened to the Mexican guy who worked as a driver/gopher at the Top North Guest House for many years for Thai wages - Danny? He was married to Charlie's sister and claimed to be American, but was making something like 2,000 baht per month so I always had my doubts. He finally just vanished...

Thanks for remembering Fred Knipe Pim. We used to play golf together weekly (for me weakly) in the early 90's. Love his ex, A also. BRB Link to post Share on other sites
paulbrun 32 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 How strange..? I was just thinking about both Fred Knipe, and Tony Knowles today, and had no idea that either had passed away..? Enjoyed many rounds of golf with the former, and many beers and interesting chats, with the latter. And the list goes on......? All are fondly remembered. Link to post Share on other sites
adjan jb 3 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I see only 2 ladies, Cricket and Snowflake mentioned. Surely there have been some western women pass away here over the years. Anne Morris (UK), my favourite alcoholic. She died in 2001. RIP Bo Nirbraten (Danemark) Philippe Thiebaud (Switzerland) Link to post Share on other sites
paulbrun 32 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 And another contribution from a friend of mine....... "And we can't go much further without paying respects to dear, departed, diminutive Dr Frank Kelly from Australia, the genial former convenor of the Informal Northern Thai Group who had previously written speeches for Pierre Trudeau in Canada. Frank, who passed away quietly here after battling cancer for almost a year, had finished an authorative book on expat life styles. He had lived and worked in 14 expat communities. The book was never published and now seems to have been forgotten. Shame as it looked very promising. Can anyone shed any light on it..?" Link to post Share on other sites

RIP Bo Nirbraten (Danemark) Philippe Thiebaud (Switzerland) Time really does fly doesn't it. I wouldn't have thought that it was anything like five years sine Anne's departure.

Johpa 2,162 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Speaking of departed alchoholics, British Peter (Deng's partner) who ran one of the the original bars on Loi Kroh. I remember Deng when he was a bartender at the old Karen Hut. Deng also worked at the old Cottage for Keow, who was rumored to have been involved in the disappearance of an American down and out alcholic whose name I can no longer remember (Roy maybe) but whose disappearance caused little concern to the US Consulate at the time.
